World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
Spr. Peter Ellery
British Army 128th Field Company Royal Engineers
from:Lyndhurst, Hampshire
(d.17 May 1917)
My Great, Great Uncle went to war with his brother Reginald. I know he served with 128th Field Coy RE at the time of his death which I believe places him in Flanders immediately before the Battle of Messines. I would like to find out how he died and where, although looking again at the date it was before the battle. I believe he was wounded four days before he died and was evacuated to the military field hospital near to the present day Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery where he is buried.

Edward Elliman was my great, great Uncle. Unfortunately, I don't know much about him, only that he served in 7th Btn. South Staffordshire Regiment, died in November 1917 and is buried at Aire Communal Cemetary on the Pas de Calais. As the Highland Casualty Clearing Station and the 39th Stationary Hospital was based at Aire, I can only assume he died from wounds obtained on the battlefield.

Cpl Alfred James Elliott
British Army Royal Fusiliers
from:Edmonton, London
Alfred Elliott was my grandfather. He volunteered with every male member of his Box Making Factory, which was situated in Edmonton, North London. They were 72 men plus Alfred, they were altogether in the same battalion, and were all together in the same company, of the Royal Fusiliers. Alfred would not leave them to become an officer, he could not be a Sgt, as they were all regulars, so they made him a Cpl.
At the Battle of Ypres they all went over the top, and Alfred was the only survivor with machine gun and shrapnel injuries. This known for sure as the Trench Map of the day, has his name down as the only one who came back. In the next step trench died an officer, but his brother survived. They were from another Regiment. It was while the son of the officer who was killed, was researching his family history that he found by chance Alfred's name.
